I don't know why HN lately is a roller coaster of hot takes, but I'm quite enjoying it. Since the authors of these comments rarely ever deign to lay out the thought process that makes them arrive at what they are laying out so mat

With their $100m of funding they could afford about 1/4th of one of ASMLs latest-gen machines. Matching that when all you have is minuscule fraction of ASMLs R&D budget (~tens of billions for their latest process) would be... impre

I do enjoy some military fiction as much as the next guy, but without some sources this might as well just be that.

Completely irrelevant. What matters it that the company itself is in a place where the EU/Germany can have oversight and control over it.

I must be holding it wrong then, because in my ChatGPT history I've abandoned 2/3rds of my conversations recently because it wasn't coming up with anything useful. Granted, most of that was debugging some rather complicated t

Nonsense. People don't buy a PS5 and regret they can't play League of Legends. There's been games exclusive to one platform or the other since the dawn of time, yet people still buy them for the games they do have. That thi

Somewhere out there there's a poor guy trying to do useful work on a 16GB RAM computer that has to run WhatsApp, Discord, Slack, Teams, etc, and a browser at the same time. I propose going from measuring RAM in gigabytes to just counti

Why are you fixing their code? You're just doing the same thing as the LLM you're complaining about. Also, as someone who attended university in Germany, the mental image of a professor helping undergrads with homework already see

Never. This wasn't such a sell-off either. What actually happened is that market cap declined by that amount, where market cap of course is just latest share price multiplied by shares outstanding. Nobody should be surprised or care th

This is meek and seems almost resigned. I don't understand how discourse and responses around these kinds of strange, bewildering, or stupid corporate decisions is always so nice . This corporate bullshit thrives in respectful envir

You'll see these little solar panels outside people's homes in any country that doesn't have all of its population (reliably) connected to the grid. They're everywhere in rural Afghanistan as well for instance.

It took me a while to realize that the cringe AI hype bro is just wearing a tie this time. Unsubstantiated fluff with anonymous sources that wants to disguise itself as legitimate research. Maybe at least these charts are based on real data

About once a year some server provider kicks me out, burns down, or extorts/hikes prices on me specifically. All data is already mirrored to servers at other providers, so I just need to spin up the main infra somewhere else. I can do

Interesting nitpick, but I must be missing your point somehow. >They are the same thing No, that's in fact not the same characters (obviously?), even if they can be used to represent the same phoneme and could thus be viewed as in

Banking/transactions is full of split-brains where everyone involved prays for eventual consistency. If you check out with a credit card, even if everything looked good then, the seller might not see the money for days or might never r

Somehow I don't think writing verbose English to communicate with an LLM is ever going to beat a language purpose-built for its particular niche. Being terse is the point and what makes it so useful. If people wanted to use python wi

Chances are hell is going to freeze over before people start writing verbose q code. Q being less verbose than alternatives is the whole point. Nobody is feeling any pressure to bend over backwards to accommodate the guy who struggles to ge

LLMs were created to use the same interface as humans (language/code). Asking humans to change for the sake of LLMs is an utterly indefensible position. If humans want terse code, your LLM better cope or go home.

For books only available through Amazon my workflow used to be buying it, downloading it with their desktop app, importing into Calibre, converting to epub and stripping DRM, then pushing it onto my Kobo. They broke that a while ago by maki
